single duckling advice needed

[valewife]

I just rescued a duckling (age unknown) from a bad home.
I have chickens, turkeys and guineas but no other ducks and no pond.
Can a lone duckling be content with my other poultry or should I find a better home for him?
Any advice?
Thanks, Jeanie

So you don't want an excuse to get another duck?

hi jean i dont kno if this helps but my ducklings were raised with my chickens they get on great even my cockrel doesnt seem phased by different breed in there so i would put it in with the younger chicks just incase the hens see any threat by difference

Mine don't have a pond, just concrete mixing pans with water. It is perfect for them. Ducks like company, I don't know if yours will be okay only with other animals. I echo Wifezilla - maybe a few more ducks? I have eleven - it is a delight.

Another duck for a buddy, then a couple more just because they are too cute,
then different breeds for variety....
I know how this will go.
